The high rates of stunting and micronutrient deficiencies are contributing to a mortality rate of children under five years of 161 deaths per 1000 live births, limiting growth and child development, hurting productivity and preventing the country to achieve the Millennium Development Goals one and four. In response to this situation, the objectives of this report are: a) synthesizing information available on the nutrition situation in Angola, b) discussing the three major determinants of malnutrition using the conceptual framework of UNICEF, c) summarize the policies and programs of food and nutrition in the country, and d) proposing measures to be taken next. In order to achieve these objectives, the authors used data from the National Food Survey 2007, the 2001 Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS), the Malaria Indicator Survey 2006 - 2007, the MICS / 2008 Household Budget Survey and the United Nations Food and Agriculture along with a series of interviews with local representatives of the area of nutrition and health. The analysis proposes the following recommendations as next steps: 1) incorporate collecting data on nutrition surveys in routine planned, 2) complete the Policy National Nutrition, conduct a rigorous analysis of the deficiencies and develop an implementation plan with a view to improving the cost effective activities of nutrition in the country, 3) intensify efforts to build capacity in nutrition; 4) improve nutritional surveillance and screening activities, and 5) incorporate nutrition in community-based activities.
